Cranberry pecan bread Breads
1/3 cup butter or shortening
2/3 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder 		1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 cup mashed bananas
1 cup cranberry sauce, drained
3/4 cup chopped pecans

Grease and flour a 9" x5" loaf pan. Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, beating well. Stir together flour, baking powder, salt and soda; add alternately to shortening-sugar mixture with bananas, beating after each addition. Fold in cranberries and nuts. Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 325¼ F. to 350¼F. for 55 to 60 minutes.

NOTE: I doubled the recipe and used 3 pans in Dec. 1997.
